' ' tTr*^r*fr'i3fr ' , ' 1 iiTT*ii > By S. I Latimer. Jr. ^GreenwcK)d^ iH^^j^-^^erdina^ |?och-r-tnarshaf$f!Fr3^e, commandei in ^hivf of the allied armies, honored truest of South Carolinn! .This great little Frenchman, in whose handvmot many months agi rests the lives^Sof million of men and the probable destiny of the entire world, came to the Palmetto state today, and as surely" as he ever conquered a foe, so did he triumph here this afternoon among friends. From all parts of. the commonwealth a grateful people sent representatives to pay homage to a man whose military genius will never be forgotten but who, like Washington, is not only great iq war, but in peace. To Greenwood fell the distinction of the generalissimo's official visit and no place could have more proudly done the?honors. It was kept in mind throughout that though this thriving Piedmont city was the setting for the scene, the welcome accorded was in behalf of all South Carolina. The generalissimo has been given celebrations from the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate, in the West, the East, the North7 and' now the South. There have been larger demonstrations but it is a safe assertion that nowhere during his stay in the United States has he had a more wholigfearted, hospitable reception than that Accorded him in Greenwood. Marshal Foch has been dined, (but hot wined) from New York to the Pacific coast, yet it is a safe bet that his acute French taste for good cooking has nowhere bjeen better satisfied than when he partook tonight of his prize Greenwood turkey and accessories.'' Likewise when he feasted on the South Carolina possum, he ate a dish fit for the gods. 'Thirty minutes! How brief a time yet how muih took place within its limits. .- .The special train arrived practically on time amid the sound of whittles and -as the official delega|fen J^d^met him at AbbevHle, no Ing through a spick ftnd^jjfen line of to waiting automobiles and driven to the city square. There the principal ceremonies took place. His approach was the signal for a great outburst which must have thrilled even a man like Foch who for weeks has been cheered as no foreigner has been cheered in America before. A poll of the crowd would have found names of well known men from all sections of the state. The governor, although decidedly unwell, made the trip anyway that he might greet Foch. A large number of his staff were present, Maj. Louis Osborne, the assistant adjutant general, being in charge of military headquarters. Former service men did not hesitate to wear the O. D., and men of high and low rank, those decorated and those not, were here. It is estimated that about 15,000 people saw Foch in Greenwood. The marshal came to the United States as the guest of the American Legion and therefore today he was the immediate guest of the South Carolina legionaires. ^Traveling with him are National Commander McNider and Past Commander D'Olier. It was therefore highly fitting that Morris C. Lumpkin, state commander, introduced Gov. Robert A. Cooper, who presented the generalissimo. The Lan tier college students sang "The Marseillaise." The marshal was in the midst of mounting the platform when the girls began to sing the national anthem of his country. Immediately he came to salute, the crowd giving to it the same respect as is shown "The Star Spangled Banner." The chair occupied by the marshal was loaned by Mrs. Joseph R. Allen of Columbia, having been used by the Marquis de Lafayette while attending a reception in Columbia in 182f>. Commander Lumpkin greeted Marshal Foch as the "great son of France" and as the "last of a great line of warrior chiefs," and Gov. Robert A. Cooper, who after briefly telling the general of the esteem and affection in which he is held, presente-J the genralissimo as "the first soldier of the world."

Above the din of* i ' shuffling feet as some women hurried toward the door, the voice of the chairman', in strident notes, corn-., manded the Georgia senator to sit down or retire from the room. Banging the. table with bare knuckles, the chairman soon restored a semblance of order, but there were many heated exchanges before the meeting brok up until tomorrow afternoon. Maj. George W. Cocheu, attached to the general staff, was the officer on whom Senator Watson launched his verbal attack. It happened near the close, of a brief but turbulent meeting at which Senator Watson's charge that the committee "at a secret session had prejudiced" the case was characterized by Senator Shields (Democrat) of Tennessee, a member of the committee, as untrue and wholly wihtout foundation. Att.ot w.ra;?. The senator's atactk on Major Concheu hit the committee like a crack of lightning. Theife hatl been no intimation that anything of the kind was impending. Major Concheu, sitting next to Col. Walter Bethel, General Pershing's judge advocate general in France,, had not testified- and, his friends said later, was present in his official capacity as chief of the executive branch of the general staff. Suddenly swinging on his feet and shaking his right hand within two i feet of the " major's face, the senator, . his voice pitched high, exclaimed; "For two pennies I'd slap your Jaws." i Thg, officer did not bat an eye. 11 was on his feet, calling for a serI geant-at-arms to protect the officer J from "an insult." Then, declaring that he himself had been insulted, j Senator Watson announced that he , would retire from the meeting. Taking hold of the situation, Senator Shields declared the committee desired to proceed in order and suggested to Senator Watson that he had not. been insulted. i "We expect youto conduct yourself i here in the same manner you want ; others to conduct themselves toward you," said Senator Shields. "Insult by Looks." "An insult can be given by looks," ; Senator Watson declared, wheeline ; quickly again to face the officer. "If he looks at me again that way, I I'll slap his face. I won't stay here | and be bulldozed by these officers? i by this bull jawed brute." 1 f Major Concheu looked straight ahead at the senator as Chairman Brandegee endeavored to get the proceedings within orderly senate bounds. After repeating his command that the senator sit down or leave, Chairman Brandegee and Senator Watson had a fiery exchange as to just what had been promised in keeping officers out of the room while the letter's witnesses were testifying. Finally the chairman shouted to the Georgia senator, asking if he wanted the officers sent away, and on being informed that he did, they were told to get out. After that things settled down a bit. Smiles came back to Senator Watson's face as he explained that he wanted to beg the pardon of the committee if he had acted in an unseemly manned. He added, however, that the officers, sitting there and gazinz , at him "in an insolent manner," had aroused his "Southern blood." The committee later decided to hear some army officers tomorrow and then adjourn the open session for I a week, so a"s to examine the mass { of documents presented by Senator Watson. The senator announced that he had no witnesses on hand today, but the committee agreed to summon nnvhndv hp fplt could trive evidence as to the illegal hangings, i A flurry followed a protest by I Senator Watson over the action of the committee in confining the in! quiry to "illegal hangings." The senator insisted that his charges covered broader ground and that the committee was attempting to "narrow the scope of the inquiry." Authority of Senate. Members told the senator, howI ever, that they were acting in entire i accord with the senate resolution and ., that if he wanted to go into other | fields it would be necessary to go back to the senate for authority to ! investigate beyond the line fixed by the senate itself. j Senator Watson asserted at today's WOULD ABANDON CHEMIC?

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., corroborates my statement that a soldier was shot by an officer," but this statement was formally denied tonight by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt in a letter to Chairman Brandegee in which he offered to appear as a witness before the committee. "At no time did I make, either verbally or otherwise," Mr. Rosevelt said "these statements as reported in the press account of what Senator Watson said. I have held no commu nication with Senator Watson except by letter, copy of which I enclose." Mr. Roosevelt's letter to Senator Watson, under date of November 14, 1921, referred 'to the execution of a soldier of the Twenty-sixth infantry in the autumn of 1917 for murder ant another crime. "This is the only instance of an execution which came under my observation," Mr. Roosevelt told Senatoi Watson. "I feel sure the war department can furnish you with full details . in this matter if you wish them." ^ - HARRIS ADVISES TO HOLD COTTON 1 Farmers are advised not to sell a bale of cotton at present prices unless absolutely necessary in a state ment issued yesterday by 11. Harris, commissioner of agriculture. The sta tement urges the holding of cotton. It follows: "I see no reason to change my opinion about the cotton situation. I see the ginners' report today is 7, 640.000 bales and it ise hardly possible for it to even reach 8,000,000 bales. Even if it docs, that will be n bullish report. With a carry ovt^of not more than 6,000,000 bales of spinnable cotton and at least 2,500,000 bales of this crop low grade, there will be a good demand for the good grades in the near future. "The hales of this year are bound to be lighter than they were last year, and then the lint on an average is shorter this year than lasi year?so this will bring about less quantity of lint. The world's consumption of cotton is running uven1,000,000 bales a month and the Thills now are all running on full time, a great many of them running at night. nr i. _.r ai ? !?_ -i -a- ? ?* 1 most ui uie nuns are snort on actual cotton, hut they have bought from the <?otton brokers for future delivery and they will call upon them to deliver the actual cotton for they can not spin future contracts without it. Therefore, I want to urge every farYner not to sell a bale unless he is compelled to do so. "Ask your banker to take your warehouse receipts and float them for you and put the money on your account with him and I believe he will do this for you. For God's sake don't accept the offer which the mills are making?to let them have the cotton and pay you 14 cents and settle with you any time up to July. If enough of the farmers do this, cotton will never go up. "Farmers, don't get scared. Don't sell a bale unless you have to. Sit steady in the boat. It is not too late to sow oats and Canada field peas to make good Jiorse and cow feed. Sow on good land, and by May 20 you will have some of the finest horse and im way evgr fed. Sow two and one-half bushels of Canada field peas to the acre. You can buy the seed at any good seed store. Let your watchword next year be: 'To live at home and keep out of debt,' and you will have no trouble about financing your cotton. You will then be in a position to make the other fellow pay your price. Write a mot to like this and tack it upon your barn door where you can be reminded of it every day: "Live at home? keep out of debt." ?The State.

B. Pe%*y of Columbia and L. E. Odom of Lancaster were committed to the York county jail last night, following an attempted holdup by thorn of an automobile of York people eight miles cast of town shortly after nightfall. The York car, in which were R. D. Alexander, Jr., Paul Neil, Mrs. J. I. Barron, Mrs. C. II. Ilart, Miss Bessie Barron and Miss Louise Barron, was stopped by Perry and Odom on the Rock Hill road near Newport, Perry approaching with a revolver and declaring the York people were pinched for speeding. Finding more occupants in the car than he evidently expected and meeting with a withering verbal barrage, Odom desisted from his apparent purpose to extort the payment of a bogus fine for speeding or from highway robbery, and permitted the iorK people to proceed on their way. Upon reaching York they immediately reported the matter to Sheriff Fred E. Quinn and the York police, who kept on the lookout for phy suspicious appearing strangers. Perry and Odoni came on to York, bought some gasoline and stepped into a drug store, after which they continued on their way. During their brief stopV here, however, they were recognized by some of the York people they had held up -wrtfl Sheriff Quinn started in pursuit. The strangers were overhauled and arrested on the western outskirts of town. Perry readily acknowledged his connection with the holdup hut countered by declaring that he was a detective working for Sheriff lleise of Columbia. is 25 years of age and says he is a sop of M. Perry, formerly of Columbia but now of Bkmey. He claims to have spent most of his life in Columbia and says he has done "private detective work for Rural Policeman Dunnaway.

Perry, according to information from York, claimed that he was a detective working for Sheriff Hyae and also said that he had done privaldK* detective work for Rural Policeman Dunnaway. Doth of these claims, Sheriff lleise said last night, are incorrect. Sheriff Heise also said that he was searching for Perry to charge him with stealing five bales of cotton from JVlarzn Perry, his own father, a former Columbian, now living in Blaney. Mr. Perry, Sheriff Heise said, ? moved to Blaney from Edgewold about three weeks ago, leaving sonic cotton at his Edgewold residence for some time, intending later to have it transferred to Blaney. Five bales were missed and the theft was reported to Sheriff lleisc by Mr. Perry. An investigation was undertaken and, Sheriff lloise said, a drayman was found who testified that he had moved the five bales for young Perry, who, in the meantime had disappeared, the story of his arrest being the first news received of his whereabouts.
